Everybody loves taking\u00a0selfies these days. It’s not even a new phenomenon. All those renowned artists of yesteryear who painted self-portraits? Selfies\u00a0(which took a longer time to appear). Selfies\u00a0are as old as photography, with the\u00a0first photo selfie<\/a>\u00a0dated at 1839.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, we have our friends in the animal kingdom to learn from, and we’ve compiled a collection for study. Based on how you want to portray yourself on social media, these critters are here to show you how to get the desired effect. And not one of them is doing the duck face! Take note–you know who you are.<\/p>\n
